Chip carving patterns #9: Leaf 1

Time to start with some curves – I’ve created a pattern that’s based on an article that Wayne Barton published about designing your own leaf patterns. I did a simple leaf, and just reflected it around the boundary. I put in a tulip pattern in the center, but feel free to fill the center with a design of your own.

A collection of basic chip carving patterns for coasters. I use a 3 1/2" square size on 1/4" thick basswood for most of my coasters. A few coats of spray shellac, and the little rubber adhesive feet on the bottom is all it takes to finish them off.
